64, I don't think you're missing a thing. Either my partner or I own or have used most of this stuff.
Treat the room - definately. I found the fg locally for about half of what the online places want so look around. Covering from Hobby Lobby.
A7s - we both use these. Another one to look at since you aren't exactly pricing budget gear is the Focal Solo 6be. More than double the price though. If you have a Bryston or better amp you might look at passives like ProAc.
RME - he uses the 800 with a presonus slaved to it. I use the 400. I only do my guitar, bass and vocals. My next upgrade will be the Prism Orpheous but this hobby will need to break even before I do that.
57s and 414? of course
As mentioned there ares some great deals on Blue's out there if you look. I have a Red that they don't make anymore. Excellent. Try craigslist and try the list for Nashville, NYC, Dallas, LA....places with lots of studios, lots of recording people and lots of layoffs. Cascade ribbons are a bargain.
I use Great River preamps and he has UA LA610s. I'm looking now at Manly and Chandler for one more. Way to many good ones to name but the RME preamps are just fine until you do decide. I think Vintage King has a try before buy thingie.
He uses lots of UADs, has not gone to UAD-2 yet but wanting to. I'm cheap and use stock cubase and freeware plugins
We both use cubase so can't help with any other DAW
